I have found by and large that most folks who support Sen. Clinton do so because she IS so qualified AND experienced, and on top of those crucial prerequisites for the job of president are her positions on many important/critical issues. Said another way, regardless of how similarly Clinton and Obama may seem or actually be on the issues (as you say), the vast majority of those who chose to vote for Clinton and NOT Obama did so because he is so obviously lacking in appropriate experience and qualifications. His resume has got to be the absolute thinnest of any candidate who’s ever gotten this remotely close to the nomination. (At least at this point in his young political career.) It’s really that simple. I mean, we are talking about POTUS after all.

Hillary is fighting for the nomination because SHE WANTS THE JOB. She is challenged by the hard work that awaits her in cleaning up all the Bush messes. Hard work does not deter or distract or bore her.

O-Boy is pushing/hoping to be “selected” by the DNC and supers because he wants the POSITION of president. That is VERY different than actually wanting the job. Over the past 18 months of following the campaigns and the nomination process ever-so-carefully, Sen. Obama has never struck me as someone with “fire in the belly” for the most formidable position — and JOB — of leading this country. Never.

I wholeheartedly acknowledge his gift and ability to deliver well-crafted speeches. That’s what he’s got to offer. Along with his message of hope and change. The beautiful rhetoric is simply not enough. Not by a long-shot.

Being a good — and especially a great — president of this country takes a lot of hard work. I mean actually DOING the hard work. Day after day after day. Nose to the grindstone. Especially if done right. And especially in these times.

Witness the current occupant of the White House. For the past 7-1/2 years. God help us. Enough said.

Holy crimeny… You all are a bunch of koolaid drinkers… Richard Armitage who left the Bush administration in 2004 along with his pal Colin Powell was the guy who admitted leaking Valerie’s identity as an employee of the CIA. Richard left Bush in 2004, and “the leak” occured in 2005. Are you all so mindless that you still allow the Democrats to feed you this idea that the Bush administration was behind it all? Armitage was an anti Bush! She was outed by one of your own!! Her lawsuit was thrown out as baseless! Do some reading folks! Wikipedia Valerie Plame or Richard Armitage and get the real story. No wonder the Democrats have superdelegates – to protect their party from stupid, mindless voters.

Pick her? WTF? She wouldn’t pick HIM. She wouldn’t be caught standing next to that loser and be his ‘assistant’. Why on earth would she make him look good in an election. She would never hold up that weakling. She should let him fry and just come back on the I Told You So in four years. I wouldn’t give that slug one of my voters if I were her.

Every man I know who supports here says she’s strong and decisive and most successful men admire that in ANYBODY, regardless of gender. Unless of course they have issues involving their mothers or their own ‘manliness’ is attached to subjugation of women. Seriously. Funny how men I don’t like don’t like her. they are all Republicans too.

Here is proof of how they get the “dead voters” information.

It’s from BHO weBsite calling instructions. Wrong number?
Then they collect the info and use it to register “dead voters”..???
Issue is the “wrong number” and is really a “disconnected”. Great filing system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.> What is the best response to mark if the person called is deceased? If you call someone who has passed away, please mark Wrong Number so that they will not be called again.

And I’m a college educated white male and I don’t see what you see either.

Are you angry at college educated whites as well because we also vote for Barack Obama. Are we also all fooled because we don’t see what you see?

I think Barack Obama is an exceptional candidate regardless of his race. If he were white he’d be a great candidate as well. If he were a woman he’d be a great candidate. It’s not his race or his sex that matters. It’s the way in which he speaks and the judgment and character he has shown.

The great respect that he shows for Hillary Clinton right now when it’s clear he will be the next nominee is a great example of that judgment and character.

Yup, that’s pretty darn racist actually. Did you know that Clinton was actually winning the AA vote in polls as late as December?! It wasn’t until they got to know him that they decided to vote for him in the numbers they are doing.

Do you think Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton got this kind of support from the black community? No. They didn’t.

He was using two fingers when he scratched his face. The audience was responding to what he was SAYING not his fingers on his face, most of the audience couldn’t even see him for God’s sake. There’s just so many paranoid ideas floating around.

Her refusal to go negative? What planet do you live on?! Her campaign has been relentlessly negative for months now! It’s Obama’s campaign that has held back.

Your argument that Obama supporters out before she wins the next 3 contest is completely wrong. First of all because Obama will win Oregon. Second of all because Clinton has such a massive lead in WV & Kentucky that she would almost definitely win even if she conceded which would actually be a embarrassing for Obama – this has lead some people to speculate she’s actually staying in until May 20 to save him that embarrassment. That would be a really really classy thing if she’s doing it for that reason.
